Savor the Colors of the Season: Fall RV Camping in Colorado’s Fruit & Wine Country
Picture this: it’s a cool foggy morning in September. You brew your first cup of coffee, throw on your favorite blanket scarf, and open the door to your RV to a view of the Mesas, a rainbow of fall colors, and the rising sun. It’s a crisp morning and a campfire is there to greet you before a day of wine tasting, views of the changing leaves across vineyards, and the perfect weather for picking apples straight off of the tree and enjoying fresh cider the same night.
Sound good? Then it may be time to start packing up the RV to join us for harvest season in Palisade, Colorado.
Traveling by RV? Where to Stay in Palisade.
Palisade is the perfect getaway for RV camping with options to fit every style. Palisade Basecamp RV Resort offers full hookups, riverfront sites, and easy access to town. Imagine this: some local vineyards even allow limited overnight RV parking, giving travelers the chance to wake up among the vines. How cool is that? Whether you want modern amenities or rustic charm, Palisade and your RV make the perfect home base for a fall adventure.
FALL COLORS TO EXPLORE
In the fall, Palisade transforms into a breathtaking canvas with rolling vineyards that offer the best of leaf-peeping and cottonwoods creating pops of vibrant colors. We recommend taking a leisurely drive or bike ride along the Fruit & Wine Byway, to see the best of the vineyards changing leaves against the dramatic backdrop of the Book Cliffs. Stop at the local wineries or farm stands along the way for seasonal offerings and harvest fun. Looking for a more relaxed activity? A riverside stroll or picnic beneath the cottonwoods offers a peaceful way to savor Palisade’s vibrant fall colors.
Join the Harvest with U-Pick
Fall is the perfect time to experience the charm of the area’s u-pick orchard during the harvest. Spend a crisp autumn afternoon wandering rows of peach, apple, and pear trees, filling baskets with fresh-picked fruit to enjoy throughout the rest of your trip. Many farms, like Mt. Lincoln and Green Acres U-Pick, welcome visitors with seasonal produce, homemade jams, and fresh-pressed cider. Just minutes from may local RV parks, U-Pick is the perfect relaxed activity to enjoy the fall weather.
Whether you’re sipping wine among the vineyards, gathering fruit straight from the orchards, or relaxing beside the Colorado River, Palisade offers the perfect mix of comfort and adventure for RV travelers. Visit during this slower season for a chance to soak in the colors and savor all Palisade has to offer.
